This document is an outcome of the Flourishing Schools Model (in the USA) to support schools in asking questions, leading conversations with the school community and integrating a robust understanding of biblical worldview in the mission, professional development activities, relationships and learning activities of their school. This document may need to be contextualized for each school culture but provides a very helpful structure for the process of understanding what is meant by biblical worldview in the context of education.

Meditations for Teachers is written as a companion volume to First the Foundation! A Primer for Christian School Education. These meditations serve as illustrations of how to implement the basic biblical understandings of Christian school education that First the Foundations addresses. So what appears as theory and perspective in First the Foundations is given a practical and devotional bent in these meditations. Meditations for Teachers can also stand alone as a devotional text. The sixty meditations are organized around the four themes of teacher, student, classroom practice, and school mission. Taken together the fifteen devotionals around each theme do present a perspective for understanding these four areas as a Christian teacher.

Using questions in our classrooms can lead to significant improvement in student learning and retention and also help students develop a biblical lens for learning and life. Why should I use questions in teaching? Which types of questions are most effective? How do questions promote a biblical approach to learning? How do I engage my students in a quality process of asking good questions? This course provides a platform for questioning our motivation in using questions, investigating resources to improve our use of questions, connecting our use of questions to clear curricular objectives, and applying what we learn through new instructional strategies.

This course explores the unified and unfolding nature of the biblical narrative through its significant events, characters and themes. Participants will read selected portions of Scripture, and consider how they fit together as a whole. This will be supported by readings from a succinct and carefully designed text as well as summary videos, and interaction with other participants in an asynchronous online learning environment. The course concludes with an opportunity for students to summarize and clarify their learning through designing a presentation that could be used to share the narrative with students of the age group they interact with the most in their school.

How can we engage in meaningful connections between schools, students and teachers without adding additional tasks to our full schedule? The connections are more meaningful when we facilitate and encourage peer-learning (at both teacher and student levels) that meets the global awareness and academic goals of our schools. Why not benefit from the passion and educational perspectives of Christian teachers in one of the accredited ACSI schools in Nigeria, or Christian teachers in the Netherlands who are building relationships with partner schools in many countries, or the fast growing Christian schools in Romania? All of this can be done in English between teachers learning together online and then your students collaborate on meaningful projects that meet the goals of your curriculum!

Assessment is a challenging area for many teachers, and has a significant impact on the learning experience for students. This course aims to equip teachers with both a framework for thinking about and planning assessment, as well as practical tools for classroom implementation. By considering assessment in the context of the whole teaching-learning process, this course explores ideas for designing quality assessments that provide relevant feedback and engage students in learning, including student self-assessment and peer-assessment strategies. Participants will engage in the course material through practical activities as well as interaction with other course participants through discussion forums.

What are the characteristics of a Christian teacher? This book is centered around this question. Based on the Bible, The Essence of Christian Teaching provides guidelines for the everyday educational practice at any place in the world. The ideal image portrayed in this book seeks to depict the teacher’s actions in the classroom in the best way possible. However, the book is not a blueprint or a program, but should be read as an inviting prospect. Christian educators from England, South-Africa, Hungary and the USA have given comments on this international version which have been incorporated into the book.

The time is ripe across Europe for teachers in Christian schools to confront the spirit of secularism, so rampant in Western culture, with a gospel-based, Christ-centered message. At stake are the hearts and minds of all students in our schools that God has put in our care. Will teachers be ready to offer students another way to see themselves as belonging to Christ as his agents rather than the agents of secularism? Will our schools be places that engage students to exhibit God’s image- not merely to "fill up" with information - in all their learning? This book is dedicated to equipping teachers to take up their calling not only to be Christians, but also to teach as Christians before their students.

Your needs and strengths always connect to the needs and strengths of partners in Christian education from the wider community. Please review the current list of services available to meet the goals of schools in your language, region or area of targeted growth.
Based on your strategic goals, select the professional services available from ACSI and our partners which best help your school meet those goals. You may also add and edit the services which you host or in which you participate.
Services are regularly being added to the system as we develop partnerships with other service organizations. Services can be listed by Standard number and by language group. The default language for services is English until services are available in your selected language group. One additional language group can be added to the listed services for your convenience.
Showing the details of a professional service will bring up the description of the service with the text of its related indicators. You are also able to connect any service to a strategic goal which will help you remember which services you have identified for addressing these goals.
You also have the option to “request a service”, which will notify ACSI of a particular need and initiate a process of identifying how to serve you, either through the ACSI office or one of our partner organizations.
Your “connected services” refers to those services which you have already connected to your strategic goals. “Services we offer” is a listing of the services your school is currently offering to other schools in your region or language group. Member schools are able to add 2 services to this listing each year to promote collaboration and partnership between schools. We provide a Service Development Worksheet to help you think through this process with your leadership team before posting your services here.
